Two ball at 20.30. Coach Piazza: woe to underestimate the commitment Varese has a low average age, but also the experts Pilotti and Allegretti
VIGEVANO
Elachem Vigevano is looking for an encore after the convincing victory over Florence, in the away match scheduled for tonight in Varese against Robur et Fides (duo at 20.30).
After the comforting debut in the league, the Gialloblu from Vigevano want to confirm themselves against a team that has just returned from the defeat of PalaRavizza against Pavia. However, a challenge that is not easy to face for the players of coach Paolo Piazza, given that Robur has a long tradition in Serie B and will have a desire for revenge after last Sunday’s false start with Riso Scotti.
Coach Piazza does not trust
«Our next opponents – explains coach Piazza – lost on the first day against a complicated rival like Pavia. We must not underestimate Varese, whose roster has a low average age but also includes two elements of experience such as Pilotti and Allegretti. When you are up against a very young team, it is normal to risk a little more away from home. Beyond the defeat against Pavia they were able to stay ahead for a long time, so Varese looks like a difficult opponent to face. We absolutely must not take them lightly, but rather be very careful ».
Vigevano will again have to deal with the 41-year-old Danilo Pilotti, who wore the yellow and blue jersey in the year in which Vigevano won promotion from C Gold to Serie B, without losing a single match. Then there is Allegretti, «a strong player who is no longer a young player who has dropped his category today, but who has always played in Serie A1 and Serie A2. In Serie B it makes the difference – warns the ducal coach – Varese is a team that still has four long roles, therefore plenty and a certain quality in the department. In addition to Pilotti and Allegretti there are Spatti (ex Pavia) and Gaye. A rebound will have to be fought. We will still have to do without Merchant who is disqualified for another round and who is a player who, if necessary, can play the role of fake long, helping the sector when it is in difficulty. We hope that Rosa and Radchenko will repeat last Sunday’s performance, in which they replaced Giorgi and Gatti for several minutes – concludes Piazza – thus making an important contribution to the final victory over Florence ». –
